Maybe it's a mistake to focus on the importance of the relationship between the photographer and the subject to the pleasing outcome of a photo shoot. I had a wonderful experience with Najah and Redi as I shot their wedding and reception. Najah and Redi were fantastic subjects. They were so open and free with their obvious affections for one another, their families, and friends. I was treated as a valued family member and a friend. I think this social linking facilitated my ability to anticipate and capture the flashes of love and affection that were integral to the wonderful album we created. It is a "we" process for me and my subjects.
